A 1-year-old sward of Paspalum notatum was top-dressed in Apr. with 10 or 40 kg N/10 are. Data on plant height, chemical composition and digestibility of the herbage are given for 5 stages of maturity including the early-heading stage of the regrowth. The higher level of N resulted in a considerably higher CP content and lower NFE content than the lower level, particularly in young herbage, but there was little difference between levels in effects on CF or crude lignin.
